Five-star forward Koa Peat committed to Arizona’s 2025 recruiting class on Thursday.
The 6-foot-8, 235-pound senior from Gilbert, Ariz., is ranked No. 8 nationally by the 247 Sports composite.
“I chose Arizona, head coach Tommy Lloyd and his staff because I know I will be pushed,” Peat told ESPN. “It’s a winning program, and all I want to do is win.”
Peat, who made his announcement on “The Pat McAfee Show,” chose the Wildcats over Arizona State, Baylor, Houston and Texas.
He is the third top-50 commitment in Arizona’s 2024 class, along with forward Dwayne Aristode and guard Bryce James, the son of NBA superstar LeBron James.
It is a big day for the Arizona program. The fourth-seeded Wildcats face No. 1 Duke on Thursday night in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on Newark, N.J.
